Aortic Arch Dissection with an Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery: Surgical Treatment

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Acute dissection of the aortic arch with an aberrant subclavian artery is a rare finding. This report documents the successful treatment of this unusual problem. A 56-year-old man, brought into the emergency room with severe epigastric, chest, and interscapular pain, was treated medically until stabilized. Operation was then recommended and accepted; whereupon, dissection and control of the arch vessels, including the aberrant right subclavian artery, was accomplished.
